Forecasts

Della Mare (10/11), Jack Ryan (10/3), First Verse (15/2), Independence Day (11/1), Seeking Perfection (12/1), Rainbow Sign (16/1), Ocean Eyes (20/1), Pollinate (22/1), Indian Affair (25/1), Vice Royal (33/1), Ghepardo (33/1), Farewell Kiss (66/1)

DELLA MARE gets the vote to double her career tally having found just one too good at Chelmsford just under 6 weeks ago. That form is proving strong for the grade (third and fourth won since) so Tony Carroll's charge looks the one to beat kept to 0-50 company. Jack Ryan heads the dangers with the usual blinkers reapplied, ahead of First Verse and Independence Day.
